The Charming Small Town In North Carolina That Is Home To The World’s Largest Highboy

On road trips, World's Largest items often pop up along popular travel routes. If you have plans to explore more small towns in North Carolina, you'll want to see the World's Largest Highboy out in Jamestown. Towering above the cars and people below, the craftsmanship alone makes this a great reason to come into town.

Welcome to the World's Largest Highboy, a giant dresser sculpture built by Sid Lenger, the artist behind both this structure and the World's Largest Chest of Drawers in nearby High Point. The giant structure might be a piece of furniture, but it draws in travelers from all over who want to see every World's Largest object they can find.

The World's Largest Highboy stands tall in front of Furnitureland South, where it was added in 1998 to advertise furniture. Ever since then, this sturdy chest has greeted every shopper who visits.

The skill it took to build all 85 feet of this tall dresser is a feat anyone can appreciate, but historic buildings and Jamestown, North Carolina go hand in hand. Mendenhall Homeplace is a historic 1811 home full of Quaker history. The property has a few beautiful old buildings that are a treat to tour and learn about local history in.

Next on the list is Jamestown's very own Castle McCulloch, a beloved beacon of historic beauty. This longstanding structure was built in 1832, reconstructed in 1985, and currently serves as one of the best event spaces in the area.

When you're hungry, SidWill's Cafe and Catering is a local restaurant with all sorts of southern flavors. These homemade recipes transformed into a heightened experience make for an excellent meal.

Another great option for dining in town is Black Powder Smokehouse, where you'll find smoked meats and small-town hospitality in spades.

If you have extra time to kill, head over to High Point City Lake Park for a bit of scenery to bring the whole day together.

Adding a bit of nature to your day is always a great choice.

Despite the Jamestown address, both the Highboy and Furnitureland South rest outside of city limits.

Thankfully, this adventure is all about exploring Jamestown and all the history attached to it.

If you want to add more to your adventure, there is much to see and do other than the nearby park. Once you're in High Point for the scenic views, you might as well grab milkshakes or visit a stunning butterfly farm.
